Police Seek Public’s Help to Catch Man Who Raped Sleeping Woman in Car on East Side
The suspect is said to have met a 30-year-old woman for the first time in a nearby bar before raping her in his car after she passed out.
Police are looking for a suspect that they say raped a 30-year-old woman in his car after they met for the first time at an East Side bar last month.
The woman was said to have met the individual at bar near E. 29th and Second Ave. and left with him shortly before 4 a.m. on Oct. 27, police said.
The victim did not know the suspects name. Although Second Ave. is a downtown street, cops said the suspect fled “northbound in a white Chevy Malibu with tinted windows (license plate unknown).”
Thought that would appear to have him going the wrong way up a one way street, there was no surveillance photos of the car or its license plate.
The victim was treated at a nearby hospital.
Police released a photo of the suspect walking but did not have a photo or video of the car.
